THE domestic wheat crop Of 1897 has
been heretofore estimated at 10000
90 bushels, with 115,000,0O0 bushels
avrilable export surplus. The govern
ment Department of Agriculture, on
October 10, reported possible crop of
45o,OO0,OO0 bushels. The earlier esti-
mates gave a surplus of 1l5.000,0O0
bushels, including 25,OO0OO0 from the
Pacific coast leaving 100000 bushels
from Atlantic ports. The surplus is
now increased to 110000O00 bushels
from Atlantic ports, of which 10000
600 bushels have been exported within
fourteen weeks, leaving 70,OO0OOO bush

As USUAL the Republican schemers
are anxious to secure a majority on the
Board of County Commissioners and
hence are trying to defeat Mr.. Schmach-
tenberger for reelection this fall.
Commissioner Schmachtenberger has
served his first term of three years and
has been faithful to duty, serving no
ring Of schemers. The taxpayers of
Stark county owe it to themselves to re-
elect Esquire Schmachtenberger. Hon
est Commissioners are important to the
best interests of the county. AlOnzo
Smith and Jacob Schmachtenberger
have carefully and honestly managed
the county business, and the latter

would In general be allowed 10 70 by
defalt. This default nobody is answer
able for under the law. and much
expense will be saved, but In Miles
City such course could not consistent
ly be followed. Here the polls must
be opened. and n opened people were
liable 10 vote. and without q nomina-
ton emanating from some suthorita-
tive source the balloting was liable to
be 30 scattered ~ TO fail Of an express
sion Of popular opinion, and also to
leave the returning board in doubt as
to result until all the precincts had
been heard from. This has been the
chief and only reason why the two
parties have not placed candidates In
the field. and the public, or at least
that portion oft, unaoquainted with
the facts are entitled to know.
That there will be another candidate
in the field to-day, opposed to Mr..
Garlock, seems at this writing to be
certain, and general comparison of
street talk points to the fact that DR..
BurleIgh will be the man, although
he himself denies the soft impeach-
ment. Had the Doctor not perempt-
orily refused to allow the use OF his
name, II would have been presented to
the conference committee, and he
might have been the nominee, but as
he declined the honor and authorized
q member of the Republican central
committee to withdraw his name II 1t
was presented, we cannot bring our
selves to believe that he intends to
run; still there are several young and
active politicians who have bis can
vas in hand and say they are going to
run him. Should II prove to be a
fact, the Democrats will undoubtedly
go into the fight with q will in support
of Mr.. Garlock and lively fight W i'll
result.

Ed. Register-After bidding adieu to your
office last Tuesday, we took up the line of
march via Belleview and Caledonia to Bel
grade. On the route met with many gen.
ial friends, especially two at Belleview, whose
dinner table was SET with choice dainties,
which were delicious indeed. May the guar
dian angel ever hover near them and keep
them from all harm.
1t would be an Injustice to overlook the
many kindnesses shown Us while in the Ar
cadia Valley by so many warm friends. We
certainly do appreciate acts of kindness and
store them away In our memory that they
may never be forgotten. We found 1t quite
difficult on the road between Belleyiew and
lronton to water horse. The water here
in our streams is bright and clear and is
from here they suffer with thirst before
they will drink of the Belleview water.
On our way through Belleview valley We
called at Mr.. Smiths stock farm, one mile
north Of Caledonia, to look at his stock with
view of buying.

The dry weather still continues. Every
thing il so dry that the surrounding hills are
burning of, and even the grass along the
railroad ignites from sparks of fire dropped
by passing trains, and burns like it usually
does in March. Notwithstanding the long
continued drouth, however, our fine nerer
falling springs right in the limits of Arcadia
continue to pour forth their bountiful sup
ply OF the unadulterated ale of Father Adam.
Not only do these springs in town hold out
but also our dozen of springs in the surbubs
continue their flow. Oh, We people of Iron
ton, come over to our town and partake of
the water of life.
The mechanics are taking advantage Of the
beautiful weather and pushing to completion
the two new buildings. The Turner build
ing presents fine appearance already with
nothing but the frame work so far. Louis
Miller and James Evans have charge of the
work. Mr.. Geo. s. Evans has charge of the
work at the Hogue building which will be
completed in few days.

weather dry, but business lively; especi-
ally In the lumber trade. If you would stay
here one day and see the different teams
come and go with lumber you would think
we had q northern pinery here. There are
some seven mills shipping from here now,
giving employment to at least one hundred
teams, saying nothing of the men that it
takes to run these mills. The shipment last
week was over 80 cars. This lumber goes
mostly to other roads and they furnish their
own cars for this lumber. 1t is impossible
to get cars to ship to local points, or even st.
Louis. This company is not treating the
Missouri shippers with justice, as they send
the cars all to the Arkansas Division; from
the fact it pays them better to haul long
distance.
Mr.. Editor, how do you like the appoint
ment of Judge Emerson? It is the best thing
that ever happened. He is the very man we
want and everybody down here approves Of
II. He was not thought Of as q candidate,
and we did not know he was in the race.
Judge Emerson raised himself very much In
the estimation of our people when he retired
from the judicial race in Jefferson county.
He would not stoop TO such little, low down,
dirty tricks as they practiced up there to
beat him.
Now, Eli, we will say word or two about
local option. II you had stood on our depot
last Saturday and seen the young boys, with
smooth faces, reeIing and staggering and US
ing all kinds Of bad language-although you
don't approve of local option-you would
have said, will vote that ticket now. Do
you know there is hardly man in Des Arc
but what will vote the local option ticket
and save their dear boys from q drunkard's
grave and drunkard's bell, and let Us have
peace on earth and good Will to all men. 1t
will not be long ere Iron county viii be called
on to decide this important question, and, in
the meantime, hope that every man that
has vote will come up and save his boy
from utter ruin and disgrace.
Jas. Loyelace has moved his family from
near Arcadia to one Of his mills near this
place. We are glad to welcome him back
among US.
We have had 8 protraesed meeting here all
this week BY Rev. Settle, assisted by Rev.
Full and Presiding Elder Baton. While
there were no conversions, we had good
meeting. Several rose for prayers, &c.
